64 David's Thanks!
After a brief break, Luis once again started his practice in full swing.
"Discharge!"
*Sizzle! *
Discharge is a Lightning Elemental Spell in which the caster will release thunder currents from all over his body, working as a protective cover for a few seconds. It even has a paralyzing effect on the enemy. But a single release consumes a lot of Mana. Although he has a few applications in mind, it's not cost-effective to use them at the expense of so much, Mana.
"If only I could keep those thunder currents from disappearing," Luis mumbled with a deep sigh.
*Sigh*
"Hm?!"
"Wait!" Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind and Luis' entire being became excited. A grin appeared on his handsome face as he uttered while rubbing his chin. "Maybe, I really can."
'Just like mana coating, where I need to have excellent control over mana to increase the destructiveness of my attacks. If I can control the electrical discharge of the discharge spell, my attack power will reach an entirely new level.'
Now that he had an idea, Luis became even more enthusiastic.
"Haha, if I can perfect this move before the entrance exam. I can give Alicia a big surprise."
Just imagining the kind of expression she would make, made Luis very motivated to work hard.
"Discharge!"
*Sizzle! *
"Discharge!"
*Sizzle! *

In the evening, everyone in The Suarez Manor was waiting for the arrival of Alicia's dad. While Alicia was brushing Ivy's fur and chatting with Lumine. Luis, on the other hand, was having an important conversation with his dad.
"Dad."
Hearing Luis' answer, Ronald's eyes glinted. But before he could say anything, a loud exclamation interrupted him.
"DAD~!!"
Alicia stood up from the couch and walked towards the entrance.
That familiar dark auburn hair and that light moustache and beard. It was none other than David Raven, Alicia's father, who was standing at the entrance.
David was stunned when he saw Alicia cheerfully walk up to him and greet him with a sweet and warm smile that he had missed all these years and uttered the sentence that he had long wanted to hear.
"Welcome back, Dad."
He couldn't help but tear up at this moment. The smile on Alicia's face wasn't forced or burdened by anything. He felt as if Alicia from before her mother's death was back in front of him.
"I'm... back..."
When David said these two words. He almost choked. Tears couldn't stop falling down his eyes and the uncontrollable joy overwhelmed him.
When Alicia saw her father's tears, she understood how much pain he had been in. She wasn't the only one who lost someone. Her father also lost his wife. But she, whose mind was filled with revenge, neglected her father's happiness.
For the sake of the lost one, she forgot to care for the living.
At this moment, her heart was filled with endless sadness and guilt.
"I'm sorry, Dad."
Saying that she didn't care about anything and hugged him while crying. David gently patted her back as the memories flashed in his mind when he used to comfort little Alicia whenever she cried.
When she changed after Maria's death. He thought he could never get to see her again like this.
But now his little princess is back, showing her smile and emotions. Not pressured by the burden called revenge.
And all of this was possible because of a certain someone.
Thinking of this, David looked in a certain direction and broke away from the hug. After walking in front of the young man to whom he had entrusted his daughter's future. He said the next sentence with the most sincere and grateful smile.
"Thank you, Luis. Thank you for keeping your promise."
